What does the root 3bd (ع ب د) means as per Quran?
-
Peace Imran.
For me, I study Qoran for my own benefit. I have chosen to do it and I disregard what others do.
I respect others choices and decisions, if they are cheating or fooling around or pretending that is their loss. If I am misguided ,I will only blame myself. GOD is very much aware of what we do. We cannot fool GOD even if we think we can fool people.I understand that Salat is a connection at certain times with my creator and only concerns me and my relationship with the Lord. I take the opportunity to spend few private minutes connecting with GOD and freeing my mind from the hassles of this difficult life.
Sometimes try as I can, I fall short of putting GOD in my mind 24/7. I need time to remember GOD and stay GOD conscious to try and save myself from my evil self.It is between me and my creator . I concentrate on myself. It is a big task without getting involved or worry about others.
I am trying my best to really analyse and search Qoran, and until I am certain my understanding is wrong, I will have to be true to my own take on what I understand so far.
I also understand that others have to follow the path that they have come to understand from their own study of Qoran.Tomorrow at GOD, each one of us are going to be asked" Have you not studied /pondered my message or what is it you were doing in your life"
GOD bless you.

My elders did not do Salat.
I came across Qoran and researched what is "Aquimi Salat". The sole claimant Of "Iquami Salat" is GOD
2173GOD taught it to Abraham who in turn taught it to his generation....And so forth.
I do it because I believe GOD.Salaam GL
Your elders were meant the generations since Abraham.
So do you agree that you learned your ritual prayer from the generations and not from Quran?God bless you
-
I agree with your definition "to follow closely" so how do we follow closely?
It would be helpful if "you" would translate 4102Salaam hawk99
I try to "follow closely" what God has revealed - Quran and not the generations after Abraham. You can choose your path as per your understanding of Quran
If you understand "aqimis salat" is not ritual prayer then brother 4102 is in context of war condition and salat has to be the following of the commands given in context of war.

You misunderstand, I said nothing about Abraham, however you are correct,
I do choose my path as per my understanding of QuranStill no translation of ?
If you understand "aqimis salat" is not ritual prayer then brother 4102 is in context of

and when you are among them
then uphold you for them As-salah (the following - since war conditions so war strategy as well as God's guidance in such situations to follow)
then let a group from them stand with you (Note not behind you as in ritual prayer)
and let them take their weapons
when they all sajadoo (submit)
then let them be behind you
and let other group come
who did not sallu (attend the instruction which will be what they will be following)
then lat them sallu (attend the instruction)
and let them take their caution and their weapons
those who did kufar wish
had you been negligent of your weapons and your possessions
then they assault you in a single assault
and no blame on you if you had inconvenience from rain
Or you were sick
that you put your weapons down
but take precaution
Surely God has prepared for kafireen a humilating punishment.

You have many issues that you are not making sense with
-Aquimi Salat. your follow closely is vague, not consistently understood as a specific task.-
- Why do you prepare to follow closely? It does not make sense.
-
- You are really struggling here. Read your explanation for brother hawk again. It makes no sense whatsoever. You are making it so difficult and weird.
Read my explanation ,simple and makes a lot of sense.
- You are really struggling here. Read your explanation for brother hawk again. It makes no sense whatsoever. You are making it so difficult and weird.
-You have not come up with the inventor/originator of the Salat prayer with Evidence. I gave you a verse from Qoran that says GOD inspired/taught Abraham how to Aquimi Salat. GOD was the original teacher of Aquimi Salat.
-;You will have to ignore many Salat verses that will never make sense with your interpretation of Aquimi Salat, but they all make sense with "contact prayer. One example of many
39
The angels called him when he was Quimun Yusalli (Doing his contact prayer) in the Mihrab(sanctuary) "God gives you good news of John; a believer in the word of God, honorable, moral, and a righteous prophet."Do you just follow closely "Fi Mihrab"? What is Mihrab?
?.etcYou are assuming Aquimi Salat has been invented by other than GOD. I will look at your evidence if you can bring any.
Go on brother at least you will satisfy your own self . I feel you are not sure about a lot of verses and you are struggling to make sense of them.
Your choice and decision. Convince yourself, me and the readers with your take.
GOD bless you.

You can write lengthy post but cannot reply my simple question as copied again for your consideration.
Salaam GL

So do you agree that you learned your ritual prayer from the generations and not from Quran?God bless you
Since you are not going to agree that you learned your ritual prayer from fellow human beings and not from Quran, I see no point in continuing repeating myself.
You can never produce a verse from Quran giving detail of your ritual prayer. So you cannot claim that you follow what God has revealed. You can continue with your ritual prayer by blindly following your ancestors.
God bless you.

Peace Wakas.
Thank you for your reply.Peace Novice.
Would you agree that you have not produced anything with substance to demonstrate that Aquimi Salat is not a "contact prayer" from Qoran.
You say I have not/cannot provide a verse that gives you the details of how to observe the contact prayer.
There is no verse as such because it is already preserved . The consistency of the steps do not vary from generation to the next. generation.( Standing, bowing prostrating)The corruption of salat like including other than GOD in it, not devoting it to GOD Alone, changing the numbers, adding/taking away...etc have been cleared up by Qoran.
Did Mohammed do "Iquami Salat" Why and how? Is there evidence he did? Was he instructed to "Aquimi Salat"?There are other things that have not got step by step instructions in Qoran. You can see the different interpretations for them here and elsewhere. For example how do you do Zakat/ Sawum?...etc.
Qoran needs pondering for the details to be found like you would put together a jigsaw. GOD has chosen His words to be a trial for those that claim they want to follow them.
If everything came as clear as crystals in Qoran, and no effort was made to find the path, there would be no need for a trial and GOD and the Angels would be present here explaining them.Well, keep looking for your details. I will keep digging and studying to find mine.
Read your posts again, there not a shred of evidence in them to make me think I better stop observing Salat. On the contrary, I see a lot of confusion with your explanation of certain verses .
Would you agree with me brother that I cannot follow your reasoning on what you provided so far?
I am afraid I pass this time. Sorry brother Novice, I will keep on observing my contact prayer dedicating it to GOD Alone until I see proper evidence to the contrary.
Thank you for the conversation and GOD bless you.
Peace. -
Peace All.
I am going to clarify my view on Qoran so that the balance of the message is addressed.
Salat for me is not the priority, I was discussing what Qoran said about Aquimi Salat and my understanding of it.
This is my priority
The number one priority ,the top of any list must be the uniting factor-GOD Alone, our Creator, all of us humans-Now, GOD places Justice, fairness and good intentions as the most important part of His system. We seem to always concentrate on the trivial matters like Salat, Sawum?. that are personal and can be overlooked by GOD if we have the right intentions.
Among the many books of religions out there, very few deal with the subject of ?justice, fairness and good intentions? i.e the attitude of our mind towards GOD s system to keep the balance for all GOD s creatures.The most important useful analysis for any human including ?Muslims? is to deal with this utmost priority the attitude of mind towards the one GOD and His just system must be top of the list. Everything else will then follow with GOD s guidance and trust.
And this
On all other sects/religions
I am sure with all our differences ,providing we accept each other as we are, there must be hope that at least we can live in peace with each other.
So what if your fellow human went to a synagogue,or prayed in a church,or went to a temple or did a congregation prayer behind a man or a woman or is even Atheist?
. If they stop their wars,aggression,lording it above each other,fighting each other,hating each other, gossiping, back biting,ridiculing,claiming their religion is the truth?etc
You never know, just may be , now or in 100 years or so? GOD Alone will unite us all?
GOD bless you all.

Would you agree with me brother that I cannot follow your reasoning on what you provided so far?Would you also agree that you are ignoring many verses that you cannot explain about Aquimi Salat. They are in Qoran clear and simple .
So you are contradicting your logic yourself, you want to follow Qoran but ignore some of its verses?GOD bless you.

Peace good brother, I notice that you left these words untranslated
-
As-salah
-
sajadoo
-
sallu
It's ok, if you are willing to go to such an extent to render a translation
that is plainly designed to circumvent the ritual prayer at the moment.may Allah bless your intentions.
These are some examples how we "follow closely".
-
remembering Allah by reflection and application.
-
Rituals
a. call to prayer
b. ablution
c. physical salat
- Purification
a. fasting
b. zakat
- Studying Quran
I don't see anything wrong when someone is physically prostating to Allah. Nor does is contradict the Quran.
I agree

Would you agree with me brother that I cannot follow your reasoning on what you provided so far?
Salaam brother GL
The discussion was to find out "what Aqimis salat" is as per Quran. You view is that it means "ritual prayer to connect with God" if I understood you correctly.
You have agreed that
1- There is no verse in Quran giving details of how to do ritual prayer
2- You learned ritual prayer by following older generations and elders and not from
Quran which is what God revealed for us.Please do not follow my reasoning but follow what God says
2170
And when it is said to them follow what God has revealed they say nay we follow what we found our elders on.........
3121
And when it is said to them follow what God has revealed they say nay we will follow what we find our elders on .....
Would you also agree that you are ignoring many verses that you cannot explain about Aquimi Salat. They are in Qoran clear and simple .
So you are contradicting your logic yourself, you want to follow Qoran but ignore some of its verses?Brother I am not ignoring any verses. Once you understand what "salat" means as per its root and read verses in context, you will not see any contradiction. Problem is you want to follow what God revealed (Quran), by following older generations whereas God commands us to follow what he has revealed.
God bless you.

I left these words untranslated because every one has different definition. My translation as per root words is
Salat = the following
Sajadoo = to submit/acknowledge
sallu = to follow closelyCicumventing the ritual prayer? How can one circumvent ritual prayer when there is no verse giving details of this ritual in Quran. I am circumventing what older generations enforced on us.
These are some examples how we "follow closely".
- remembering Allah by reflection and application.
Agreed.
- Rituals
You mean by following elders or past generations.
a. call to prayer
A non Quranic concept.
b. ablution
Another term created by traditionalist.
c. physical salat
For which there is no verse detailing how to do it in the detailed Quran.
- Purification
Agreed we must keep purification.
a. fasting
b. zakat
Only in the light of Quran and not as per created and adopted meaning of Quranic words.
- Studying Quran
Agreed
God bless you.

Thank you for taking time to reply.
Back to the discussion.
I left these words untranslated because every one has different definition. My translation as per root words is
Salat = the following
Sajadoo = to submit/acknowledge
sallu = to follow closelyI was asking for u to insert your definitions in the verse to ascertain
the sensibility of your interpretation and please if possible no brackets &Cicumventing the ritual prayer? How can one circumvent ritual prayer when there is no verse giving details of this ritual in Quran. I am circumventing what older generations enforced on us.
I agree the ritual salat has been corrupted i.e., there should be no mention of Muhammad.
You mean by following elders or past generations. (ablution)
Here you make a semantic argument nope
do you perform it and call it something else?Ablution is a ritual from Quran not elders.
(call to prayer) A non Quranic concept.
! What is your understanding of
For which there is no verse detailing how to do it in the detailed Quran. (for physical salat)
Stand, bow and prostrate, seems pretty simple to me.

4102 has to be read with context. It is regarding war situation and commands has to be in that context.
and when you are among them
then you establish for them "the following"
then let a group from them stand with you
and let them take their weapons
when they all submit/acknowledge
then let them be behind you all
and let other group come
who did not "follow"
then let them "follow" with you
and let them take their caution and their weapons
those who rejected wish
had you been negligent of your weapons and your possessions
then they assault you in a single assault
and no blame on you if you had inconvenience from rain
Or you were sick
that you put your weapons down
but take precaution
Surely God has prepared for kafireen a humiliating punishment.
I agree the ritual salat has been corrupted i.e., there should be no mention of Muhammad.
It is assumed here that Salat=ritual prayer
Ablution is a ritual from Quran not elders.
Which word in 56 = ablution?
! What is your understanding of
(
Oh who have believed, when called for "the following" from time of the gathering then hasten to the guidance of God and leave business that is good for you if you knewSo when "the following" is decided then spread in the land and seek God's bounty and mention God a lot may be you are successful.
Stand, bow and prostrate, seems pretty simple to me.
Where are the details? One stand, one bow, one prostate or different numbers in different prayers? What to say while standing, bowing and prostating?
God bless you

Peace Novice.
Here are the verses you ignore at least
1- 56. Why do you do 56?
2- 4101-103
Why do you need to "Uksiru Mina Salat"(4101)?i.e Shorten the Salat. How do you shorten the "following"?
Why do you do the "following" only on prescribed time" (Kitabam Mawkuta"?- 4103And if you already have "followed" before the war, why do you need a special "following" during the war?
*The following" is vague in your translation and you know it. The Arabic is not saying what you claim.
? And many verses we can put to you here that will show you "Aquimi Salat" is
-Something you prepare for.
-Something you call for.
-Something you shorten.
-Something you stand in front of the Lord in "Taqwa" for.
-Something you do Bowing and prostrating in it.
Something you do to communicate with /remember GOD.
-Something you do with a moderate voice. i.e you are saying something while doing Aquimi Salat.
...
That is how you are ignoring verses brother.
GOD bless you.

You admitted that there is not a single verse in Quran that gives you details of your something and also that you learn how to do your something by following human beings instead of following what God revealed.
What you are doing with verses is called confirmation bias. It is not learning but blind following of older generations. You can follow a cultural practice but cannot find a verse giving you details of this cultural practice.
God bless you.
